High Quality easy to build All I can say is what fantastic craftsmanship. If you're the type of person always complaining that everything is made like crap today and want to buy American made well then .... Here's your chance. This rower is not only built like a tank but it's easy to assemble. I'm new to rowing and what a great way to have a near full body work out. You can't beat this rower for the price and so glad to by made in America.

Getting Parts for an Older WaterRower I have an older WaterRower, made for NordicTrack, and the guide wheels for the sliding seat needed to be replaced. It took a little bit of exploration on the WaterRower website, but I found the wheels there, ordered them, and was happy that they came sooner than expected. I installed them without any trouble, and I'm back to rowing again. The WaterRower is pretty trouble-free, but it's nice to know I can get the parts I need when it does have a little trouble.

Low impact full body workout Terrific low impact, low cardio, but full body workout! The chair feels a bit hard to sit on as you approach an hour on the rower, but the overall feeling is very natural as you might expect. If you close your eyes, you could easily imagine yourself in a boat out on the open water. Adding the rower to my workout routine allows me to work off stress while giving my knees a rest on the days I'm otherwise not running.

Great Machine, Terrible Tank Filling Process The rower arrived quickly, well-packed, easy to assemble, and fun to use. The process required to fill the tank ruins the elegant design of the rower and makes a mess. Using the siphon pump resulted in nearly a quart of water all over the rower and the floor because the hose was too short, the fill port too small, and inconveniently positioned. A simple funnel or moving the fill port over a few inches, increasing the size, and using a screw-on lid like a Nalgene bottle would greatly simplify filling and emptying the tank.

The folks at Waterrower were fantastic… The folks at Waterrower were fantastic when my 15+ old rower sprang a leak! For the epoxy fix to getting her back to action…they stayed on the line with me, helped me with exactly what I needed, and sent me the videos needed to re-engage my rower. Now if I can only find the little part (or get the schematic) to reconnect my monitor. Still looking…but at least I can row!
